My three year old nephew, Lake


...you see, it runs in the family!!

Honestly, except for the glasses this is how I looked when I woke up this morning. Actually...now that I think about it- I remember having this dream last night that was really quite fantastical which would account for the Flying Sea Guls like hair plumage.

I was performing some major Kung Fu(not even kidding) on this evil witch/lady who was trying to spy on this little girl who was staying with me and some other people at this big mansion in some third world country. So any way I'm strolling through this dark alley and this woman comes up to me and tells me about the evil/witch lady. She warns me that I'm in grave danger- that the witch lady is trying to spy on the little girl through my body. I asked how she could spy through my body and she said "Because you are a sensitive type, she can look through your third eye."

So I asked her what I could do to help the little girl and she said, "You must leave the country at once. It is too dangerous for you and your friends to be here. And please take this dog with you. She needs a home and she has picked you as her care giver and Master."

I tried to tell her that I already had four dogs and couldn't possibly handle another one, but she wouldn't hear it. She put her hands up to her heart and pointed to Sasha, the sweet, but dirty little street dog and then to me. So Sasha followed me back to the mansion where I was staying and the next thing I know I've some how come up with the brilliant idea of putting cloves of garlic and a bandanna over my forehead so the witch lady can't see through my third eye. But the witch lady is powerful and so she tries looking through my thigh which starts pulsing and twitching and burning, so I rub garlic on it. And that's when I realize that I am an amazing Kung Fu Priestess of the Light.

Suddenly the witch lady manifests herself into the room and so ensues a fierce girl on girl battle. I am astounding myself with these amazingly impressive flying and kicking maneuvers. At one point I was upside down standing on the ceiling!! I am clearly giving this ole' witch a run for her money and then I take this powerful stance in the middle of the floor (like Gandolf in The Lord of the Rings, Twin Towers movie when he tells that demon on the edge of the cliff "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!") and I say to her in this other worldly voice "I am a Being of LIGHT and I command you to leave at once!!"

So of course she does and then I wake up and catch a glimpse of myself in the bathroom mirror and head straight for the computer to take pictures for my silly little blog.

The End.

My darling fiance just walked by, took one look at the back of my head and replied jubilantly
"The Hairnest is back!!"

So of course I immediately photographed the evidence without even glancing into a mirror first- now that's trust! Then I looked at the pictures and saw how wretched I look, but fortunately for all, I just don't give a Crap. So let's hear it for early morning wretchery!!

gotta run- have a pleasant day!

This is what a nice warm hat does to my hair. It gives it a good ole' matted down, spit-curl look which I tend to enjoy tremendously...and--there were no clips involved!!

Hello there goodly people!!!

Although my hair is shorter now, my dear friend Karis pointed out to me this morning that it has amazing mashed doll head hair-like qualities. I find her analogy to be rather right on.

Have a wonderful day, and don't forget to take the cheese ball out of the freezer for the office party!

Rip Taylor
recently paid me a visit!!



I had no idea, but apparently Rip Taylor is a huge fan of Planet Hair Nest. So anyway he came to Nest Headquarters to pay me a visit and we had such a marvelous time together. I'm telling you- it was one of the most delightful chats with a celebrity that I've ever had! We mostly talked about my hair and how envious he is of it's nocturnal adventures, but we also talked about real life issues...like...crows feet...and sagging upper eye lids...and...dental implants...and ...oh, just all sorts of deep and important things. We hit it off so splendidly that he asked me to join him for lunch with he and his lover sometime next week!! How thrilling is that??!! Of course I'll tell you all about it- don't you worry...until next time...
HAPPY NESTING!!

HAPPY SPRING!!
